Juventus Become a Threat to Man City Due to Ronaldo

DBasia.news –  Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola said his team still had to face tough opponents, one of them being Juventus who has Cristiano Ronaldo.

Ronaldo had just become a hero of Juventus. He helped Bianconeri qualify for the quarter-finals thanks to a hat-trick against Atletico Madrid in the second leg of the top 16 round at Allianz Stadium. Massimiliano Allegri’s troops won 3-0 after beating two goals without reply in the first leg.

The fate of La Vechia Signora is more lucky than Real Madrid. The Champions League winners of the last three seasons must be willing to be eliminated in the top 16  round. Winning 2-1 ahead in the first leg, Los Blancos even lost 1-4 when hosting Ajax Amsterdam at Santiago Bernabeu.

“I won two Champions League titles, but failed seven times. I’m not Real Madrid, “said Pep Guardiola.

“Real Madrid have been eliminated, but look at Juventus. Cristiano Ronaldo moved to Juventus to win the Champions League. They lost twice in the final, “he said.

“They brought Ronaldo, put all the burden on his shoulders and he scored three goals against Madrid to qualify for the quarter-finals. It’s players and teams like this that we have to face to qualify for the next round, “said Guardiola.

“The team and I will try. That’s all I can say. If we fail, I will be very disappointed. However, I will make sure to fight again next season, “he said.
